How is the transportation tax calculated?

Calculation of transport tax is carried out by the ratio of the vehicle and its capacity. You can create this event yourself. On many sites, you can calculate the transport tax through a special calculator. It is only necessary to choose the appropriate city or region, as well as a variant of transport - a motor scooter or a motorcycle, a truck or passenger car, a bus, self-propelled or water transport, a sailboat or a hydrocycle. Then, in the next column, enter the power value, and then determine the result.

For each city and country, the transportation tax is calculated at its rates. It is also determined based on the object of taxation and capacity. For example, for a car up to 100 horsepower , the tax rate will range from 6-24 rubles, depending on the region. For buses, capacity, which is up to 200 horsepower - from 11 to 50 rubles, also due to the city and country in which the vehicle is located. And so - for each object of taxation, your vehicle tax is calculated.

Today almost every citizen has a means of transportation, it can be a car, a bus, and cars on the pneumatic and caterpillar tracks, water and air transport. And for his "offspring" the owner must pay a special tax that exists by law. Due to the fact that the base rates may vary, in each region the rate for the transport tax is determined.

To date, own a car is not as prestigious as it is unprofitable. Constant repair, updating of parts, refueling, all this can do to the owner "a pretty penny." Yes, and pay once a year tax, although once, but the amount increases every time. Calculation of the transport tax is usually made by the tax authorities, which send the owner a form for payment. If the duty is not repaid in time, you can meet such negative concepts as "fines" and "penalties".

Calculation of the transport tax is carried out from the moment when the vehicle was delivered to the registration account with the tax authority. The following vehicle options are exempt from this duty:

- cars belonging to disabled people;

- cars, which are received through social protection bodies, the power of which does not exceed 100 horsepower;

- special motor vehicles - tractors, harvesters, which belong to the agriculture, carrying out the transportation of milk, livestock, poultry, mineral fertilizers, intended for maintenance and veterinary assistance;

- transport, which is wanted by the relevant documents;

- commercial river and sea vessels;

- motor and rowing boats, the power of which does not exceed 5 horsepower;

- helicopters and airplanes of medical service and sanitary aviation;

- and other means of transportation.

Thus, the payment of the transport tax can not be charged for all options. But for such vehicles, where the fee is still distributed, it is necessary to pay this contribution, and regardless of whether the available facility is used or not.

In 2011, some heads of the Russian government proposed the cancellation of this tax on certain types of transport. In many cities this idea was supported by almost all motorists, but when they learned that the cancellation of the transport tax would be compensated by the increase in fuel prices, the opinions differed. At the moment, it has not been decided yet what to do with this duty - leave it as it is or take it away forever. After all, paying every time for expensive gasoline is much more difficult than paying taxes only once.
